Santorini 3-Winery Tour with 12 Wine Tastings and Oia Sunset

Emily_R, Apr 2026

Highly recommend, a must for any wine lover.

My husband and I had an amazing time on this tour with Fani. We got lucky enough to have been the only ones to book it and ended up with a private tour. Fani was a delight, a lovely person and so knowledgeable, ready to answer all our questions. The wine was amazing, and it was so fascinating to learn about the unique wine making process start to finish. You can really taste the depth of history in the wines, and the differences between how each winery makes and blends their versions. I would highly recommend this tour to any other wine lovers, especially if you love the history behind the flavors.

Santorini Highlights Private Tour

Spent a wonderful day with Angelos

We had a complete introduction to Santorini , visiting Oia, Fira, Venetian Fortress, Akrotiri museum, black beach, lighthouse, vineyards, shops. Angelos was a superb guide. We learned the history of the island and the current state of Greek events. He is extremely enthusiastic about the island and was so knowledgeable. He was also very warm and we shared a superb lunch with him at the end of the day. You really must request him as your guide. He was an excellent guide with a very entertaining personality.

Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling

John_S, Nov 2025

Private fishing and island tour

The captain and the mate are amazing. They gave me much more than a fishing experience. They gave me a complete education of all the islands and history along with a nice barbecue on the water with the fresh fish I caught and of course they brought fresh salad bread and other sides for me to enjoy. I would highly recommend this fishing tour 21 who loves the open waters to get a great history and education of the islands.

Santorini

Our tour with Adam in Santorini was absolutely fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience unforgettable. Adam shared so many interesting stories and local insights that really brought the island to life. He made sure we were comfortable the whole time and took us to the most beautiful spots — both the famous ones and a few hidden gems. His passion for Santorini truly shines through, and his easygoing personality made the day so enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend Adam to anyone visiting Santorini!

Pedro’s wealth of...

Pedro’s wealth of knowledge of Santorini was spectacular, great English, very patient and obliging to any request. He beat the crowds and showed us amazing locations. Taking us to Secluded off the track locations we felt like we were the only ones on the island. He truly enhanced our visit to Santorini. Thankyou very much.

Explore Santorini with a Local Private Driver

Lorraine_A, Aug 2025

Excellent private driver!!

We had an excellent tour guide. We were in a beautiful jaguar SUV. He took us all around the island to all the hot stuff. We wound up at an organic winery which was also an art museum. We bought six bottles and had them shipped to the United States. The only thing we didn’t care for was the lunch at a restaurant in Fira. The tour was wonderful. We did find Santorini to be extremely expensive and the vendor's to be less than honest.

Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options

David_F, Jul 2025

Unbelievable experience

The staff were really friendly on arrival. The tutorial on safety and how to operate the boat was very detailed but also easy to understand as it’s was explained very well. The boat was very easy to operate once we set sail. The GPS navigator was also really easy to follow. We spent 4.5 hours sailing around looking at the amazing views. The soft drinks were very nice and ice cold. We would definitely recommend this and will definitely do this again when we come back to Santorini.

Santorini All-inclusive Private Catamaran Cruise

Renee_N, Jul 2025

Private half day morning cruise

We had four adults that toured with Spilios and Katarina and had an amazing time. They both were wonderful and the food was delicious. My sister was a little weary of booking an excursion outside of our cruise, but everything went smoothly. From going up the cable cars (20 minutes) to the few minute walk to the meeting place, to the drive to the southern port (driver very informative), and finally being picked up at the end of the catamaran cruise by the same driver to take us back. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The tour lasted as long as expected. We were on an 8 day cruise and this was by far our favorite excursion of our trip and meal. Our husbands talked about how they prepared the mussels the whole trip. We highly recommend this trip!

Private Caldera Cruise with Power Catamaran ENJOY incl. Meal & Drinks

Jesus_C, Jul 2025

Amazing experience!

What an amazing experience! What a great way to experience the beauty of Santorini. From pickup in Oia to dropoff in Fira, this excursion was easy, fun, and very well organized. The communication before the trip was very clear and informative and the rest of the experience was equally pleasant. Dimitris and George were our cruise crew and they were fantastic! They brought us all around the caldera and gave us time to swim in beautiful spots, they made amazing food for us, they got us all kinds of fun drinks, and they took pictures to document our trip. I would travel anywhere with them! What a fantastic service.
